Trump is touting massive “investment deals” from Japan and South Korea — $550 billion here, $350 billion there — but Chris digs into the fine print and calls it what it is: a fantasy wrapped in dangerous precedent. These aren’t private-sector deals but government-to-government “sovereign wealth” funds giving the U.S. president direct control of hundreds of billions with no congressional oversight. Chris breaks down why the math doesn’t add up, why Tokyo and Seoul’s voters will never go for it, and why Republicans would be howling if Biden tried the same stunt. Another example, he warns, of party loyalty replacing constitutional principle — and Congress asleep at the wheel.
